IoD Geographical Analysis

1 Introduction

This quarto report shows how open source data can be mapped geographically to look at deprivation levels across England.

About the IoD data

We use the English indices of deprivation (IoD) published in 2019. The IoD are statistics on the relative deprivation in small areas in England. Data is available at Local Authority (LA) and Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level.

The IoD dataset provides 10 indices, with the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) being a combination of the indices shown in the graphic below, take from the ONS infographic.

About the geographic data

For the geographic boundaries, we use the the corresponding LA (2019) and LSOA (2011) boundaries used for the creation of the IoD dataset.

These open datasets can be found on the Open Data Community and from Open Geography Portal.
